 Saldanha Bay : Profile
The port captain should be contacted on VHF Channel 16 for permission to enter and leave the harbour, as well as when crossing the shipping channel between Saldanha and Langebaan. If the port captain is notified that clearance is required on arrival, the relevant officials will be informed so as to meet the yacht at the yacht club, which is located to the north-west of the bay, north of President Jetty.
A yacht which visited in February 2008 reported that it was not possible to obtain outward clearance from South Africa here and they had to hire a car to complete customs clearance in Cape Town.
Port Control
Port Control will give advice on Customs and Immigration. The yacht club or the marina manager will assist and advise on current position.
The yacht club offers some moorings and there is also an anchorage. There is a fee for use of the club facilities.
